Over 20 members of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Limerick today used the convenience of the new Limerick / Galway rail line to meet with their NUI Galway counterparts to discuss the potential for collaboration between the two institutes in the areas of research, teaching and learning and shared services.

The new Alliance allows for the facilitation of student exchange between the universities which will be on the agenda for today's discussion between the UL representatives and members of the College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway whom they will meet in Galway today.
